I'll deal with the river when I get to it. Besides, if my opponent is bluffing, he might not fire again on the river.

You don't have to guess at this. You've been told that this hypothetical opponent will follow through on a bluff just often enough that you have to call the river unimproved.

All right then. One problem we do have is that on those occasions where our opponent is bluffing on the river when we catch, this cuts into the implied odds we were counting on.

And we're just barely getting the odds on both streets. So if it's the implied odds that let us call the turn, I suppose this becomes a marginal fold on the turn.

I'm not confident that's the reasoning you're looking for, though.
